>In the lives of great artists, there are unfortunate contingencies which, for example, force the painter to sketch his most significant picture as only a fleeting thought, or which forced Beethoven to leave us only the unsatisfying piano reduction of a symphony in certain great piano sonatas (the great B flat major). In such cases, the artist coming after should try to correct the great men's lives after the fact; for example, a master of all orchestral effects would do so by restoring to life the symphony that had suffered an apparent pianistic death.

If you enjoyed Yeats' earlier works, you could check out the high romantics. Blake roughly translates into the christian equivalent of Yeats' Irish pride.

How do you go about reading a Dorno? His MM was a terrible and an incoherent mess, as if he placed the words and expected you to find some the meaning. It felt like I was better off just reading the German idealists, Marx and Freud than this slob. I also got explained once he's popular because he's an authority to the Menshevik parties in German who need some kind of a flexible philosophy for both shit sling contests with the rest of the left and for deciding what to fund from their cultural ministries.

Todesfuge is one of the greatest works of poetry imo, but yes, Celan is awsome in general, I could spend hours on end listening to him read his poems, of which countless youtube vids exist.

Concerning Adorno, he's quite demanding in prior knowledge, particularly of the very "german idealists" you mentioned, marx and freud (idealists, though? I don't think so, Tim?). Without that knowledge, you're left with your intuitions to figure out what he's talking about, which works for some, but, evidently, not you.
For the german "menshevik" partkes, I don't see how he's of any importance, since he's way too theoretical and doesn't really lay out any policies. Also, since we don't have a bolshevik party, what you wrote makes zero fucking sense.

Interesting. I'm sceptical about the Todesfuge because I am Russian and Jewish and by our measure he whines way too much. Take the Requiem by Akhmatova: It is so powerful because it is so stoic. And Mandelshtam's Stalin poem is grand because he had very large balls and because it got him killed in the end.
>Concerning Adorno, he's quite demanding in prior knowledge, particularly of the very "german idealists" you mentioned, marx and freud (idealists, though? I don't think so, Tim?).
No, they are not, you silly dolt which is why I have mentionned them separately.
>Without that knowledge, you're left with your intuitions to figure out what he's talking about, which works for some, but, evidently, not you.
Then there is the question why you would want to see what he is talking about? I, who I have read my bits of Fichte, of Schelling and Marx, along at least with the three essays, t.der virginität, das ich&dat ass and one of freud's other cultural bookie from the 20s have received the impression your Adorno is just being cryptic on purpose and is trolling blatantly here and there. But that is the MM.

Dude he never even says anything about how he feels. For a grwat cynical account of the shoa, you should try Imre Kertesz' Fateless, it's completely devastating.

Adorno's merit lies primarily in using marxian and freudian(and a shitload of others, but those two are the most important) concept for a very detailed critique of everyday life, how power, exploitation, repression etc shape the most minutiate aspects of it. Not your cup of tea?

Ha. Thanks but thanks no. Accounts of German occupation (I hate that word: "shoa". It sounds like "shoe") I have received from my late grandparents aplenty (just like all the other Soviet citizens did). I prefer Zionist books for now. And Zionist poetry is fine as well.

We're still talking about Celan's Todesfuge, right?

Also, alright, you don't want to read anything whatsoever about the Holocaust, neither solemn like Celan, nor cynical like Kertesz. So it's the topic as such you object to, not the way it's being dealt with. What am I supposed to say to that, reaööy?

And while i would be interested in zionist books and poems, so feel free to recommend stuff, I somehow doubt that young israelis have suffered as much as celan or kertesz, if they did, what would zionism even be good for?

I don't have any such account, so I'll just try to answer it here. Yeah, there's a lot of anti-zionism in german culture these days, with attacks on synogogues that don't even get registered as antisemitism because the guys who did it said they were just mad at israel, all that. You can hardly blame it on Celan and Adorno, though, as afaik, both were friends of Israel. Unfortunately, people who have schoolchildren read Celan are not safe from being anti-israel, and neither are people with a superficial/selective reading of Adorno. There's a small group of pro-israel commies called the anti-germans, who are also the biggest Adorno fanboys imaginable, but they're probably less than 3000 people.

And that's a nice song there, yes, I'd figure zionism, especially before 1967, must have had a very optimistic attitude, leaving the past behind and enjoying your new-found freedom, instead of suffering the memory of the terrible past. That, however, doesn't make the expression of suffering illegitimate.

Da Vinci wrote some wonderful essays on art; interesting because at his time painting was not considered a proper one (the Greco-Romans left no notable paintings in oil) so he tries to defend it through a comparisson to poetry, architecture and sculpture and by picking out the passages in Ancient Books where poetry is mentionned.
>>6249921
The Shoah means the catastrophe. It is a metaphor. In Yiddish they also say the catastrophe, "Khurbn". And it's not the lolJewish counterpart to the "holocaust". It's just a handy metaphor when describing, say, how someone's children have died in documentary shows. You say "in the catastrophe" and the Israelis or the Yiddish speakers instantly get what that means. A German might instead, of course, have thought of the Battle of Stalingrad when hearing "the catastrophe" and not of the einsatzkommandos and the concentration camps.

For what event? A famine? Famines were a yearly occurrence in every part of the world before modern agriculture. Equating a famine with war crimes is retarded.

Stirner is a huge meme on /lit/, like Rand used to be, or Will Self when his last book came out. Usually it starts with one guy force-posting that crap and stops when he leaves, it's a bit unclear why Stirner has kept on. Maybe the guy never left?

Wow. I am not trying to insult you, but that makes you seem like the huge fucking "poser" that all Bukowski fans seem to be - because Bukowski himself was like that, always concerned about his image as that whiskey writer. Like Hemmingway. Only Hemmingway was arguably a competent writer, or atleast smart enough to stick to a certain consistent kind writing and call it his style.

I mean, you are probably not that deep into poetry, all things considered. But still, that really made me cringe.

>>6250025
Rand was hated instantly on /lit/ and the rage around her eventualyl died down. She wasn't really a meme.
Stirner however was met with praise, and is generally well liked (even if his fans can be annoying), thus he actually got the meme status he has today - things that are liked stick around.
Will Self was a pathetic attempt of imitating the Stirner meme, and because no one cared enough for him it died down pretty fast. Wouldn't exactly call him a meme either, because, well, there was like one guy pushing him, that's it.

Also, while Stirner is a good philosopher, too, that is not the only reason he is well liked: he has a certain sense of humour. He is really fun to read in how he is poking fun at everyone. This fits with the general 4chan attitude.
